Before Texans had Texas it was Mexicans who lost Texas to a bunch of rambunctious and wild Texans such as Sam Huston and other Americans such as Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie and Kit Carson. Remember the Alamo?
Actually Davey, Jim and Kit all died at the Alamo as that battle was lost to General Santa Ana. But that victory for Mexico ultimately became their defeat as Texans used the loss at the Alamo as a battle cry towards victory.
